Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 206 Another killing move! The emperor is full of ugliness!

This public opinion storm is more serious than imagined.

The last time the seven southern provinces formed an alliance, the imperial court tried its best to suppress it and no one was allowed to discuss it.

But this time, the window paper was torn open directly.

The imperial court immediately stopped and stopped all actions.

Not only because they were caught off guard by the seven southern provinces, but also because they received the political signals from the seven southern provinces.

This seven-province covenant is more than just superficial.

This time the bombardment of the imperial court completely represented that the seven-province alliance had a political core and was united as one to deal with the outside world.

So no matter what the court wants to do to any of the seven southern provinces, you must think about it in advance. Can you afford the consequences? Can you withstand the counterattack?

At this time, the imperial court was completely overwhelmed.

The scandals that broke out in the seven southern provinces are really shocking.

At this time, it was even difficult for the court to suppress it.

Under the high-pressure rule of the Qing court, officials certainly did not have as many strong backbones as the Ming Dynasty, but in the face of such public opinion and such scandals, more and more people came forward to impeach.

All the other enemies put together may not have as much hatred for Su Yi.

The entire military aircraft department fell into a temporary silence.

The people of the world were completely in an uproar. Heilongjiang General Yishan actually cut off the land of three Zhili provinces like this?

And Guiliang actually did such a shameless thing?

"Can you kill him?" The emperor suddenly asked: "Find a way to kill him, no matter what means, assassination?"

After all, young people’s blood is still cold.

Immediately, countless people shouted and killed Yishan and Guiliang, filled with resentment.

You dare not impeach Yishan or Guiliang? Then you are just flattering high-ranking officials, then you are not qualified to ask for orders from the people.

If it succeeds, that's okay.

One copy for each of the seven provincial governors, and the other one belongs to Su Yi.

At this time, they all knew that the person whom the emperor hated the most at this time was Su Yi.

But, can it be done?

Once you want to assassinate someone, it's impossible to prevent it.

Then this time we will write a memorial together and bombard the court together.

It was obviously foreigners who harmed our people, but we still have to pay 200,000 yuan in compensation? And he slandered his own people as murderers and sentenced him to death?

They gathered one after another to criticize Guiliang and Yishan.

And not only among the people, but even in the court, many young censors could no longer bear it. They could no longer control their own hearts and no longer ignored the instructions of their superiors. They directly submitted a memorial asking for the death of Yishan. , please kill Guiliang.

This is especially true for those who have just entered the officialdom, and those who have just passed the provincial examination and will take part in next year's general examination.

Because this is a political declaration of war.

Once Su Yi is killed, there is no doubt that the seven-province alliance will collapse.

But if we don’t deal with it, how can we stop the overwhelming public anger?

When the emperor received the impeachment memorials from the seven southern provinces, the first thing he felt was not only anger, but also fear.

The most important thing was Su Yi's memorial, which was signed by all seven governors.

Several close ministers present were shocked at first.

After a long while, Du Han said: "Your Majesty, many things are equal."

It represents the governor of the seven provinces who is willing to bear all possible consequences.

Moreover, this was Su Yi's initiative to declare war.

How to deal with Yishan and Guiliang?

If it were dealt with, wouldn't it mean that the Seven Southern Provinces had succeeded, and wouldn't it have allowed Su Yi to succeed?

Because there are eight memorials in total.

He still can't figure out why the governors of the seven provinces followed Su Yi all the way to the dark side.

If we talk about establishing the Southern Economic Cooperation, there is still room for ambiguity.

Moreover, more and more people are submitting memorials, and many people have to take a stand.

The emperor's eye sockets were sunken and his eyeballs were bloodshot.

This is very scary.

These two incidents deeply offended the feelings of the people across the country.

At this time in Sanxi Hall!

So the court and the emperor were in a dilemma.

You just need to start assassinating Su Yi.

When the emperor received it, he almost lost his temper.

Because among students and in official circles, there is even another unspoken rule.

Several important ministers fell into thinking.

This is the most straightforward statement.

When Concubine Yi saw these eight impeachment memorials, she almost wanted to throw them out immediately as if she had touched live coals.

Once it fails.

Then Su Yi will take reciprocal measures.

Everyone may have similar assassination abilities. But who is better at preventing assassinations?

Su Yi's force value? Everyone knows it. It is extremely difficult to assassinate him.

But Su Yi wants to assassinate high-ranking officials of the imperial court? The difficulty may not be high.

It's okay for the emperor to hide in the palace, but what about the many military ministers?

Once the assassination is launched, the political ecology will deteriorate instantly.

Then everyone will be in danger, and there will be no end.

"Probably not possible." Sushun said.

Almost all the ministers present shook their heads and said no. For the sake of their own lives, they cannot agree.

Du Han said: "Actually, there is one more thing that needs attention. We need to give an explanation for this matter."

The emperor asked: "What explanation?"

Du Han said: "Since the other party has taken action, it needs a result."

The emperor said: "Results? It's fine if I don't hold them accountable for their crimes, but still want results? Dreaming!"

"Do you still want me to deal with Yishan? Deal with Guiliang? It's a daydream!"

If you want me to compromise with them, just dream!

The grievances of the people in the world really need to be paid attention to. Even if hundreds of officials impeached Yishan and Guiliang, the emperor must also pay attention to the hearts of the officials.

but……

During the Qing dynasty, the court and the emperor had absolute repressive power.

When did you ever compromise with the people? When did you ever compromise with public opinion?

If the critical moment comes, just shut up.

How long has it been since the literary prison passed?

forget?

Do you really think we can't deal with you?

Du Han said: "It is not public opinion, but possible further attacks in the seven southern provinces."

Sushun said: "Master Du is right. This time the impeachment of the seven southern provinces is only targeting Guiliang and Yishan. If the court does not respond, what should they do if they go further and target the center of the court?"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's hair stood on end.

Sushun spoke very vaguely, but he understood.

What if Su Yi breaks out directly and points his finger at the emperor?

What if there is a Qing Dynasty version of public security disorder?

Su Yi was not Hai Rui, his lethality was much greater.

At this time, the imperial court was certainly much better than the Jiajing Dynasty in many aspects. But in more places, it is more complicated and worse.

Once Su Yi directly wrote a memorial to criticize the emperor, even seven southern provinces attacked the emperor together, which was a loss of power and humiliation to the country.

That would directly destroy political understanding.

By that time, the court will probably have only one way left.

Declare the other person a traitor.

Then what? Civil war breaks out.

Of course, what the emperor and the court didn't know was that things would not develop to this point.

Tian Yugong, Xu Youren, and Wang Youling were still loyal ministers from the bottom of their hearts.

They will not do such things that cross the bottom line.

But the court and the emperor didn't know, and they didn't dare to bet on this possibility.

Du Han said: "I have a suggestion."

The emperor said: "You say."

Du Han said: "Take Heilongjiang General Yishan to Beijing and be sentenced to death."

"Removed from the post of Grand Scholar in Guiliang's Cabinet."

"Since then, it can be regarded as an explanation to the world."

The emperor was absolutely unwilling, but at the critical moment, he didn't care about sacrificing any of his ministers.

Sushun said: "Your Majesty, I have a different view."

The emperor said: "You say."

Sushun said: "At this time, we must not compromise. Once we compromise, the dignity of the imperial court will be lost."

"Perhaps we can deal with Yishan and Guiliang afterwards. But now that the people are persecuting us and the seven southern provinces are persecuting us, the imperial court must not compromise even a single step."

"Actually, there is nothing to compromise on the seven southern provinces. After all, one or two steps of political compromise are nothing."

"But now Su Yi and others are holding all the people hostage, and they absolutely cannot compromise with them."

"The people are inherently humble. If they compromise with public opinion, the people will lose respect for the imperial court, and then they will take advantage of it."

"This hole must not be opened."

Du Han said cautiously: "Then if there is no response from the court, what if Su Yi directly criticizes the emperor?"

Sushun said: "Then...just wait."

The emperor's two most trusted ministers had different opinions.

As a result, the emperor had no idea.

After a long while, the emperor said: "Let's disperse."

The ministers dispersed.

After leaving the palace, Du Han bowed to Sushun.

Sushun returns the favor.

There is a very good understanding between the two parties.

According to ordinary people's understanding, Du Han is also a member of the same party and should advance and retreat together on key issues.

But in fact, this matter was too serious and they could not afford the consequences, so they handed over the decision-making power to the emperor Gan Gang.

Therefore, the two gave completely opposite advice.

On the surface it is tit-for-tat, but in reality it is about spreading political risks.

Concubine Yi entered Sanxi Hall.

She was still charming and charming, but the emperor was so worried at the moment that he had no thoughts.

The emperor held a book and kept reading it, but did not read a word.

The emperor said: "What do you think should be done?"

Concubine Yi said: "What did Sushun and the others say?"

The emperor said: "Du Han said that Yishan should be captured and brought to Beijing and sentenced to death. He should remove the bachelor from Guiliang's cabinet and make an explanation to the world. Sushun said that there must be no compromise at this time. Especially not against Compromise with public opinion, otherwise all the people will be upset, don’t let this happen.”

Concubine Yi thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I think this concubine cannot start this thing!"

"No compromise!"

"Whether it is the seven southern provinces or the people of the world, the emperor cannot compromise."

"Once we compromise, the majesty of the court and the emperor will be lost."

The emperor said: "If we don't deal with Yishan and Guiliang, what will happen if Su Yi further attacks or even directly criticizes me?"

Concubine Yi was silent for a while and said, "Then just wait."

The emperor said: "You have the same attitude as Sushun."

Concubine Yi said: "Your Majesty, Sushun and Du Han are playing tricks. These two people are obviously in the same party, but in the end they gave completely different views. On the surface, this is leaving the choice to the Emperor, but in fact it is to shirk politics. Risk. No matter what consequences arise at that time, it will be the emperor's own will, and they cannot be blamed."

"On the contrary, I firmly believe that there can be no compromise!"

The emperor said: "Then what if Su Yi directly criticizes me?"

Concubine Yi said: "It depends on whether someone is tired of shouldering the burden. It is better for the emperor to become a guest. Don't Su Yi and the others dislike Yishan for losing power and humiliating the country? Don't they dislike Guiliang for not being able to talk well?"

"Since you are so capable, and since you are so loyal and patriotic, then let's talk about it."

"You, Su Yi, go talk to the Russians, return to the Treaty of Nerchinsk, and take back our land in the Qing Dynasty. You go talk to the British, French, and Americans, and bring the terms of the Treaty of Tianjin back to the Change it and negotiate a fair treaty."

"If they don't have this ability, then they will shut up!"

"Whoever can, come on."

After the emperor heard this, he immediately felt that this method was good.

…………

At court the next day.

Some officials came forward to impeach Yishan and Guiliang.

At this time, Yishan was recalled to Beijing as in history, but he was not punished in any way.

"Your Majesty, Yishan has lost his power and humiliated the country, and secretly ceded territory to Russia. Please behead him!"

"Your Majesty, please kill him!"

After Wo Ren's start, everyone behind him came out one after another.

It was the same as before, and it was getting worse. The emperor was furious. What was the fuss about? When are you still making trouble? Aren't you afraid that I will think that you and Su Yi are in the same party?

Guiliang once again went out to resign.

The emperor was not allowed as usual, and looked at Wo Ren with a very unkind look.

The meeting that day was nothing more.

After retiring from the court, several close ministers went to Sanxi Hall to have a small meeting with the emperor.

The emperor said: "There is a way. Take a look."

"We will never compromise with the wishes of the people, and with Su Yi and I, and the imperial court will never compromise. We will not deal with Yishan or Guiliang."

"Didn't Su Yi keep saying that Yishan and Guiliang had lost power and humiliated the country? Didn't he have a loyal and patriotic face?"

"Then give him an order and let him talk to the Russians, let him talk to the British, the French, and the Americans."

"If he doesn't go, it will be a pretext for reputation and his political reputation will be ruined."

"If he goes and the negotiation fails, it would be incompetence and the court will convict him."

"how?"

After hearing the emperor's words, Sushun was suspicious.

Did the emperor come up with this himself? Or asked someone else? But I didn’t dare to ask at this time.

The emperor asked: "Guiliang, do you think Su Yi can achieve success if she goes to talk to the Russians and the British?"

Guiliang said: "Absolutely impossible."

Then, Guiliang said: "Your Majesty is wise and allows Su Yi to negotiate by himself. That is to use his spear to attack his shield."

"If his talks fail, the emperor will punish Su Yi."

"In order to show justice, I also ask you to remove the minister from the cabinet and sentence Yishan to prison. In this way, the name is justified and the world will have nothing to say."

The emperor said: "Sushun, what do you think?"

Du Han felt a little uneasy.

Is this... is this Su Yi's plan again, hoping to seize the opportunity to come back and seize power?

The last time he was in Guangzhou, he asked the British to withdraw unconditionally.

But at this time, if the idea proposed by the emperor himself is rejected, he will be very unhappy.

So, Du Han said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Sushun said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Several close ministers said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor said: "Then it's settled."

So, the imperial court once again sent an imperial envoy south to Jiujiang to backhand Su Yi!

It has to be said that this group of people has a really high level of political fighting and can always find the optimal solution.

So at this time, can Su Yi negotiate with the Russians?

Of course it can't be discussed.

He couldn't negotiate with the British or Americans.

No matter who talks about it, it is destined to fail.

………………

Jiujiang!

Su Yi is holding a small wedding and takes Lin Shang'er as her concubine.

This is also a wedding with no choice.

Of course, Su Yi couldn't say that he didn't want to go against his will, but at least he really didn't have this idea.

However, it had to be done.

He discussed it again and again with Shen Baozhen, Bai Yan, Hu Xueyan, and Hong Renli.

Now that Su Yi has achieved great success, there are more and more people from the Taiping Army.

One-third of the army was from the Taiping Army. Half of the female factory workers were from the Taiping Army.

In the future, if you want Lin Qirong, Zeng Tianyang, Chen Yucheng, and Li Xiucheng to join Su Yi, marriage will be even more necessary.

Hong Renli once asked, could Fu Shanxiang be the same? She could also represent the Taipings.

But everyone rejected it, because Fu Shanxiang was once the woman of Dong Wang Yang Xiuqing, and many low-level officers and soldiers still had feelings for Yang Xiuqing. If they married Fu Shanxiang, wouldn't they be cuckolding Dong Wang?

I had to choose, it could only be Lin Chang'er.

Moreover, she is almost nineteen years old this year.

Lin Qirong and Zeng Tianyang actually found a way to leave Tianjing to attend their daughter's wedding banquet.

This time, the two of them were much more calm, and the guilt in their hearts was much lessened.

Because they could see clearly how outstanding so many brothers from the Taiping Army were under Su Yi's command? Everyone is very motivated.

The life I live is infinitely better than in heaven.

Look at the tens of thousands of sisters from the women's camp. After arriving in Jiujiang, they lived a human life.

There is food and shelter, and a salary of three taels of silver a month.

Who would dare to think that a woman can earn three taels of silver a month? Moreover, many sisters are already married and living a prosperous life.

The most important thing is that I thought Su Yi was the leader of the demon.

But now Su Yi has completely fallen out with the emperor, which further proves his position.

Of course, this does not mean that Lin Qirong and Zeng Tianyang will come over now. They know that it is more useful for them to stay in Tianjing.

The most important thing is that they also want to die with the Kingdom of Heaven and come here with peace of mind. "Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng are young and energetic. They only want to die for the King of Heaven, and they are not convinced by Master Su Yi." Zeng Tianyang said: "So it is very difficult to let them come."

Lin Qirong said: "My lord, please don't give up on them. They are still young and cannot see through many things. Talents are really rare."

Su Yi would never give up. He had too few military talents who could take charge alone.

Wang Shiqing all has his own flaws and cannot stand alone.

But Lin Qirong, Chen Yucheng, and Li Xiucheng can all stand alone.

This is also related to experience.

Su Yi himself is too strong. When encountering problems, he usually directly solves them through political means. Military means are basically just tools, and he rarely fights battles of strategic value.

As for the really important battles, he himself is usually present, so it is difficult for the generals below to grow up.

Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng are different. They fought completely on their own.

Next, Lin Qirong and Zeng Tianyang chatted about Tianjing and shook their heads.

The two of them didn't blame Hong Xiuquan too much, and even felt that Hong Xiuquan actually did a pretty good job.

Because Hong Xiuquan still didn't care about anything, he hid in the palace all day eating, drinking and having fun, leaving everything to the people below to make decisions at critical moments.

This is very good, it is much better than not knowing anything but giving random orders.

However, the people in power below are hard to say.

Lin Shaozhang is considered good, but the power in his hands cannot compare with Hong Renfa and Hong Renda.

These two ancestors were completely useless, greedy for money, lustful, messy, and caused a lot of complaints.

After finally waiting for the Qianwang Hong Rengan to come back, Hong Xiuquan also entrusted him with important tasks, and everyone was full of expectations.

It seems that Hong Rengan is indeed much stronger than the two losers Hong Renfa and Hong Renda, has a higher moral standard, and is more diligent in political affairs.

But I don't know why, this man was obviously so diligent, and he seemed to have a lot of insights in politics and military affairs. Not only did Hong Xiuquan surrender with all his heart, but even Lin Qirong and Zeng Tianyang were also convinced.

But... the result is not very good.

It’s not even much better than the two brothers Hong Renfa and Hong Renda messing around.

It's so strange.

After Shi Dakai experienced the defeat in Suzhou, he was very depressed and was recalled to Tianjing.

"I don't know why. When King Yi first returned to Tianjing, he was very depressed and stopped caring about political affairs. But not long after, he became restless again and thought about seizing power again." Zeng Tianyang said.

Hong Renli said: "The reason why I am depressed is because I was defeated so badly in Suzhou and my Taoist heart was damaged. The reason why I am restless is because my confidence has been restored in Hong Xiu's body."

What you said is so heartbreaking, but it is true.

Shi Dakai was conceited and talented, and he must have thought involuntarily when he saw such a waste like Hong Xiuquan.

Just...can you still control the kingdom of heaven? Wouldn't it be better if I took the role?

"Sir, you go to the bridal chamber, Chang'er is still a child, don't wait to get bored." Hong Renli said: "Master Shen Baozhen, Uncle Bai Yan and I will accompany my brother and uncle Zeng."

Naturally, dad Su He and brother Su Quan also attended the wedding banquet.

It's just that Father Su He drank too much and got drunk a quarter of an hour ago.

He is still not used to Jiujiang and dreams of returning to the capital.

Su Quan was upright. Although he understood Su Yi, it was still difficult for him to get along with the generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

So after having a drink, I went on duty.

Work makes him happy.

........................

Su Yi opened the door and entered the bridal chamber.

As a result, I found Lin Chang'er poking there, not knowing what she was playing with.

The hijab had been torn off by her a long time ago. She walked over and took a closer look and found that she was playing with golden beans.

It was a stone-throwing game for girls. It was originally meant to be played by two people. She was bored by herself and played it with gusto.

Seeing Su Yi come in, she immediately exclaimed, stuck out her tongue, picked up the hijab and covered herself.

Su Yi stepped forward and gently pulled off her hijab.

She looked at Su Yi boldly, her two big eyes gleaming.

It seemed like it was the first time to look at Su Yi so carefully.

"What's wrong?" Su Yi asked.

Lin Chang'er said: "I just think it's weird. You are my mother's mistress, and I'm marrying you. Isn't this..."

Su Yi was speechless!

"Fortunately, she is not my real mother." She quickly added.

This girl has been so well protected by Hong Renli that she has no idea of ​​a political marriage. Maybe she knows, but she doesn't care and is too lazy to think about it.

"Go to sleep!" Su Yi said.

"Oh!" Lin Chang'er also quickly shrank into the bed, not daring to move.

Su Yi spent this period of time exhausted and would soon fall asleep.

As a result, the girl came up to her and suddenly whispered in her ear: "Su Yi, mother, tell me something, can I tell it to you?"

Su Yi said: "What can she teach you? Tell me."

Lin Chang'er pondered for a while and said shyly: "I have white steamed buns, do you want to eat them?"

ah? ! Su Yi was indeed stimulated by these words.

I couldn't help but poke it over, and it was indeed extremely smooth.

Lin Chang'er suddenly became extremely nervous and said, "You, are you about to start?"

Su Yi said: "Do you understand these things? Are you afraid?"

"I don't know how many times I've seen it, why don't I understand?" Lin Chang'er said, "I'm afraid, I must be afraid."

Lifting the quilt, I was immediately amazed. She really didn't lie. She was flawless.

…………

The next day, early morning!

When Su Yi woke up, Lin Chang'er was lying on the side looking at Su Yi, full of curiosity and shyness.

"What's wrong?" Su Yi asked.

"It hurts like hell." Lin Chang'er said, "But..."

Su Yi said: "Why don't you get up and see your father off?"

"I'm not going." Lin Chang'er said, "I'm so embarrassed."

Then, she suddenly said: "You are so beautiful!"

Su Ye smiled and got up to take a shower and change clothes.

After a while, Shen Baoer walked in and said softly: "Sister Chang'er is still young and doesn't know how to serve others, so I'll do it."

"Thank you, sister." Lin Chang'er said sweetly.

Then he remembered Hong Renli's instructions, quickly put away his smile, struggled to get up, and followed Shen Baoer to bathe and change Su Yi.

Shen Baoer was good at chatting and quickly let Lin Changer talk freely, but occasionally he remembered Hong Renli's instructions and quickly became wary again.

........................

Sent away Lin Qirong and Zeng Tianyang.

Marrying a concubine was just a small episode in Su Yi's life.

How to face the imperial court and how to force the imperial court into that dead end is the top priority.

Shen Baozhen said: "Sir, will the imperial court really send an imperial envoy here?"

Su Yi said: "Yes!"

Su Yi disdained the imperial court's military level and advanced political wisdom.

But Su Yi did not underestimate the level of political fighting among the important officials of the imperial court.

Because after several struggles, Su Yi finally discovered that the political level of the central government in the imperial court was at least 90 points.

Because every time, they can find the best way, the most cost-effective counterattack.

Without exception.

This is not surprising, because after all, this is the pinnacle of monarchical centralization.

This is also the culmination of previous feudal dynasties. Is it a waste of reputation to fight internally?

Shen Baozhen said: "If the imperial court really sends adults to negotiate with foreigners, can you succeed in negotiating?"

Su Yi said: "We can't negotiate. Faced with this situation, even the gods can't negotiate."

Shen Baozhen said: "What should we do? According to your judgment, the imperial envoy is coming soon. How should we respond?"

Su Yi said: "It doesn't matter!"

Indeed, no harm!

The level of infighting in the imperial court was indeed extremely high, but Su Yi had already known their tactics very well.

He knows their will very well.

Therefore, this confrontation can completely drive the opponent to a dead end.

........................

Two days later, the imperial envoy came to Jiujiang.

It is still Prince Hui Mianyu.

"Su Yi, what do you mean by slandering the imperial court like this?" Mian Yu scolded.

Su Yi said: "Prince Hui, I don't have time to act with you. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Mian Yu's face changed slightly, she was most afraid of this, people would stop being polite to you.

In this way, it will be impossible to use force to suppress others.

But Mian Yu still said in a cold voice: "The second time foreigners captured Guangzhou, the emperor asked you to talk, but you didn't. As a result, Guiliang went to talk, and you led seven provinces to impeach. What does this mean? You can't stand and talk. Does your back hurt?"

Su Yi coldly said: "Did I warn the emperor? Let him be careful of Tsarist Russia taking advantage of the situation. I also reminded the court not to agree to any conditions of Tsarist Russia. Did you listen?"

"Guiliang was on the Xiamen teaching plan, no... it was the imperial court on the Xiamen teaching plan. Was it also me who taught such ugly behavior?"

"If I hadn't taken action, the Xiamen religious project would have been nailed to the pillar of shame."

Prince Hui Mianyu said: "Since you have this ability, since you keep saying that the imperial court has lost power and humiliated the country, then go and talk about it!"

"You keep saying that you want to kill Yishan, and you say that Russia has ceded my three provinces of land, and you say that the results of our negotiations with Britain, France, and the United States have insulted our ancestors, so go ahead and negotiate."

"If you can't reach an agreement, how about the court punishing you?"

Su Yi said: "Okay!"

"I'll go and negotiate. If I succeed in the negotiation, the imperial court will make me governor of Liangjiang. How about that?"

Suddenly, Mianyu was shocked and didn't know how to react.

Governor of Liangjiang? If this position were given to Su Yi, it would be fine.

Now Su Yi is just a training officer of the Jiangxi regiment, but he has already made waves. If he were made the governor of Liangjiang, wouldn't it be a huge change?

But soon, Prince Hui Mianyu was on guard: Don't be intimidated by Su Yi, this is his intimidation technique. It was because he couldn't negotiate and couldn't do it, so the lion opened his mouth and wanted to scare away the court.

After repeated deliberation, the court officials concluded that Su Yi would definitely not be able to negotiate.

Moreover, Du Han also judged that there was a standard for judging whether Su Yi could succeed. If Su Yi agreed lightly, maybe the negotiation could be successful. If Su Yi put forward harsh conditions, it would mean that he couldn't negotiate.

This person is really extremely smart.

From beginning to end, all judgments are basically correct, and the handling of political struggles is almost top-notch.

So, Prince Hui Mianyu said: "Okay!"

"If you succeed in negotiating, the imperial court will confer you the title of Governor of Liangjiang!"

Su Yi said: "Empty words are not supported by evidence, but words are used as evidence."

Su Yi directly took out a contract, which clearly stated what conditions were negotiated, and the court would confer him the title of Governor of Liangjiang.

Prince Hui Mianyu read it over and over again. He was very scared, but he still gritted his teeth, signed his name and stamped his seal with trembling.

There are two copies, one is left for Su Yi and the other is taken back to the capital for the emperor's inspection.

After signing the contract, Prince Hui Mianyu returned to Beijing immediately without stopping at all!

A few days later!

The contract signed by Su Yi and the court was placed in front of the emperor.

After the emperor read it, he showed it to the ministers present.

This idea came from the emperor himself.

As a result, Su Yi agreed and instead asked to be the governor of Liangjiang.

There was only one sentence in his heart, I...did I fall into a trap?

Du Han said: "Your Majesty, Su Yi will definitely not be able to negotiate. He is bluffing. I have judged that as long as he opens his mouth like a lion, it means he has a guilty conscience and it means he cannot negotiate."

Sushun said: "I think so too, he will definitely not be able to negotiate."

Kuang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, don't be deceived by Su Yi. This person is best at conspiracy. Let him negotiate. If the negotiation fails, he will be punished. It is just and logical."

With the comfort of his ministers, the emperor finally strengthened his determination. Implement the tactics you propose to the end.

Su Yi, it's up to you to negotiate with the foreigners. If you fail to negotiate, then I will punish you.

By then, you will be reaping the consequences!

"It is decreed that Hua Shanna, as the imperial envoy, will supervise Su Yi's negotiations and report everything he says and does."

…………

As a result, Su Yi officially went to Shanghai to negotiate with the British Minister Prussia on behalf of the Qing court.

Huashana, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, as the imperial envoy, was watching the whole scene.

As a result, he was frightened as soon as the two parties met.

After Earl Elgin stepped down, he returned to London. The new British minister took office more than half a month ago, and Huasha ignored the other party's several appointments.

The minister and Su Yi hugged each other warmly just after they met.

"Hello, Sir Su Yi!"

"Hello, Sir Prussia."

"I've heard your name for a long time in London, and now I finally meet you. On behalf of Prince Albert, I send my regards to you," the British Minister said.

Su Yi said: "On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor and the imperial court, I would like to welcome you."

The translator next to him continued to translate the conversation between the two to Huashana, the Minister of Civil Affairs. As he listened, his face became increasingly pale.

British Minister Prussia said: "Before I set off, Albert met me personally. We talked for two hours. He gave me very valuable guidance on my work. This time I learned that the target of the negotiation was you. I couldn’t help but be very happy, it represents a wonderful start.”

Su Yi said: "I am also looking forward to our negotiations."

Next, the two parties entered the negotiation process.

On the first day of negotiations, Su Yi demanded that the British Empire issue a formal apology for the Xiamen Mission Case and compensate the families of the victims 100,000 taels of silver.

Then, the other party actually agreed.

For a moment, Hua Shana's heart almost trembled, and she immediately reported to the court as quickly as possible.

Foreigners have never admitted their mistakes before, let alone compensated? Now he actually agreed to compensate, this... this is quite remarkable.

……

The next day, the two sides began negotiations on the second issue, which was the withdrawal of the British and French forces from Guangzhou and the transfer of political power in Guangzhou to Bai Gui, the governor of Guangdong.

On this issue, the two sides negotiated very fiercely, arguing with each other, and never gave in.

At this time, Hua Sha was finally relieved. The foreigners were still the same foreigners, still so tough and unreasonable. This was reassuring and meant that Su Yi would definitely not be able to negotiate.

But the court did not know that Bai Gui, the governor of Guangzhou, had completely surrendered to the British and became a complete puppet.

So, entering the fourth day of negotiations.

The British suddenly made a big concession and were willing to withdraw 70% of their troops from Guangzhou first to show their sincerity, and then withdraw all of them after the negotiation was completely successful.

In addition, he was willing to hand over the government power of Guangzhou to Bai Gui, the governor of Guangdong, and his subordinate officials.

Immediately, Hua Shagna, the official supervisor who was supervising, was completely frightened, and there was only one sentence in his mind.

I fell into the trap, I fell into the trap!

All of this is Su Yi's trick, one after another.

The reason why he led seven southern provinces to impeach Guiliang and Yishan was to allow himself to negotiate on behalf of the imperial court, and to blackmail him from the position of governor of Liangjiang.

He had long expected that the imperial court would treat others the same way they treated him. Therefore, Su Yi took advantage of the situation.

He quickly wrote down his suspicions into a memorial and rushed it to the capital for 800 miles.

………………

Next, negotiations on the third issue began.

Su Yi forced the British to put pressure on the Russians, negate the Treaty of Aihun, and return to the border between the two countries delineated by the Treaty of Nerchinsk.

British Minister Prussia said that this was Russia's internal affair and Britain could not interfere.

Su Yi said that if this item is not agreed to, the negotiation will not proceed.

The next day, the two sides negotiated again, but still ended unhappy. Therefore, Su Yi said that the other party was not sincere and suspended negotiations.

Huashana, the Minister of Personnel, breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better to suspend the negotiations. It would be better if the negotiations broke down. In this way, the court would also have the name to punish Su Yi.

From the court's perspective, this aspect was the most difficult to negotiate.

However, what was unexpected was that three days later, British Minister Prussia took the initiative to request another negotiation.

What he said even made Hua Shana faint.

British Minister Prussia said: "In order to show our sincerity and friendship with your country, I would like to ask Prince Albert to personally put pressure on the Tsar to re-examine the legality of the Treaty of Aihun. We will work hard Let the border between your two countries return to its previous reasonable position."

This word is deafening.

The uncrowned king of the British Empire, willing to put pressure on the Tsar?

To show friendship with your country?

When did you and I, Qing Dynasty, have friendship?

Hua Sha was on pins and needles and even left the venue directly to write a memorial to the emperor.

We can't talk anymore, we can't let Su Yi talk anymore.

If we continue talking, I'm afraid it will really happen.

This must be Su Yi's trick! The British colluded with Su Yi to take the opportunity to help him rise to power.

...............

Beijing, inside Sanxi Hall!

During this time, both the court and the emperor were under tremendous pressure.

From the very beginning when Su Yi expressed his willingness to negotiate and asked for the position of governor of Liangjiang, they began to feel uneasy.

But he still held his ground, thinking that Su Yi was bluffing because he didn't want to talk.

But as Su Yi's negotiation process progressed by leaps and bounds, they became increasingly uneasy.

Xiamen lesson plan, British apologize and compensate!

The court and the emperor resisted.

Guangzhou first withdrew 70% of its troops and handed over government power to Guangdong Governor Bai Gui and others.

When this second result came, the imperial court was a little unable to bear it, and its inner judgment was shaky.

And when the third result came, regarding the Treaty of Aihun, Prince Albert of the British Empire was willing to put pressure on the Tsar, the will of the court and the emperor in this regard suddenly collapsed.

Especially the memorial from the Minister of Civil Affairs made me burst into tears. He said that if he did not stop Su Yi from negotiating, it would really be too late, otherwise the position of governor of Liangjiang would really be blackmailed by Su Yi.

The emperor only felt that he had fallen into a huge abyss of conspiracy.

"I've fallen into the trap, I've fallen into Su Yi's trick!" The emperor shouted, "Quick, let someone stop Su Yi."

"We can't let him accomplish this great feat again, and we can't let his reputation soar!"

"No matter what method you use, remove Su Yi, remove Su Yi!"

"Drive him away! Don't allow him to continue negotiating!"

"Let Guiliang be the imperial envoy to replace Su Yi and negotiate.

"Go, go!"

At this point, Su Yi is done!
